The 2022-2023 version of the Central Division features one clear-cut title contender, two teams on the cusp of being taken seriously, and two rebuilding teams with some fun pieces that will be worth keeping an eye on.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will look to re-assert their dominance in the Eastern Conference by winning this division on their way back to the NBA Finals. However, the re-tooled Cleveland Cavaliers represent a serious threat to steal the division crown and the Chicago Bulls are also a team that exists.
While these three teams battle it out, the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers will most likely be competing in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.
